the unit cell are plausible candidates to explain the variations in contact potential. These differences could express themselves as a variation of the surfacereconstruction (e.g., (5×5), (6×6) versus (6√3×6√3)R30°) of the interface layer [4].
Finally, we add a few comments on the data quality in the
